Improve efficiency
Providing a robust, high-performance belt conveyor drive solution, the 8.5-in. diameter heavy duty 220 Series drum motor is designed to manage the most demanding medium and heavy unit load applications. The series features an internal gearing system with 97 percent efficiency. When fully loaded, it uses 32 percent less power than equivalent gear motor drives, drastically reducing energy costs and carbon footprints. A self-contained unit, the motor, gearbox and bearings are enclosed in a steel shell. This makes it suitable for harsh environment applications because the internal gearing system is protected from dust, water, oil, grease and other harmful substances. In addition to reducing maintenance costs, the steel enclosure provides a space-saving design that improves safety and decreases noise levels while operating at full capacity.

Flexible conveyor
The NB200 Narrow-Belt Driven Roller Conveyor offers maximum system throughput rates by using proven algorithms for release modes and zero-pressure accumulation. It also provides customers with the option of three standard release modes, which can be changed quickly and easily with selectable switch settings. The conveyor includes advanced controls that provide the highest level of flexibility while remaining easy to use. It also operates without the use of a chain, eliminating the need for oil and making it ideal for clean environments such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing facilities.

Prevents breakdowns
Unexpected breakdowns are on the rise as food processors are under extreme pressure to increase output with less time, people and financial resources. A solution to prevent spiral conveyor breakdowns, the Tension Gauge records a belt’s tension throughout each tier in a spiral and, by analyzing the results, recommends corrections to unforeseen or potential problems. It can be used on virtually every spiral with tier spacing as low as 2 in. Designed to operate in freezing and ambient conditions, the gauge can take measurements in fully operational freezers and coolers.
